This is definitely a high-grade black.

Vega's eyes widened as he looked at the bombastic Chief of General Staff Eskar.

This crazy praise of his past glory, then this mission must be indispensable to him, if he wins, it is fine, if he fails and flees back to the country, his evaluation is afraid to drop to the freezing point.

Because the higher you hold it, the worse it will fall.

Vega was not only afraid of this, he was even more afraid that he would not even be able to escape back to his country.

It was a war that was bound to be lost, and he himself had no hope of victory.

But the commander-in-chief Hausman and the others didn't think so, and they didn't know anything about Vega's past before, but now that they knew about it, they were full of confidence in Vega.

Wings of the Empire aside.

No one knows the reputation of the never-falling city of Kareni, and the kingdom army that can capture Kareni is obviously not mediocre, at least it is about the same level as the kingdom army in the territory of the Holy Dynasty this time, or even higher.

From this to the other.

The kingdom's army is so powerful, but Vega is a ruthless man who can turn defeat into victory and recover Kareni.

What is the mission this time?

It's just a way to retreat.

Is it necessary to give such a task to such a ruthless person without fear of failure?

The commander of the 4th Division, Garru, immediately echoed with him: "Lord Commander-in-Chief, specialization in art, experience is preferred, the subordinate is willing to give up the identity of the commander-in-chief of the operation, and everything is only the head of Brigadier General Vega." ”

"This battle will be won, and the lower officials seconded it. ”

For the safe return of the soldiers, the subordinate also seconded the proposal. ”

“......”

All the division commanders agreed with Vega as the commander-in-chief, especially the commander of the 4th division, their faces were almost wrinkled with laughter, if Vega served as the commander-in-chief of the operation this time, even if he failed, he would only have secondary responsibility.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Hausman coughed: "Since Brigadier General Vega is expected to return, I think I will carry out this mission with Commander Garru." However, the commander of the operation is still Commander Garru, not that you don't trust Brigadier General Vega, it's just that you have just arrived in the army, and you must not be used to all aspects of the army, and you will be in command next time. ”

"Yes...... Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief. ”

In desperation, Vega could only agree to this battle, and he also did not dare to refuse Haussmann, the centralizer, because once he refused, Dandry, the deputy brigade commander in his brigade, would also take the opportunity to replace him.

But fortunately, the commander-in-chief of the operation was not him.

When the sky fell, there was a tall man on top, he just assisted from the side, and when the battle really failed, he only had to pay secondary responsibility, and the real unlucky one was the 4th division commander Garru.

Of course, this is all secondary.

Vega only wanted to know how he would be able to get back alive from the front this time.

"Brigadier General Vega, please take care of me next. ”

The smile on the face of the 4th Division Commander disappeared, and he said with a stiff expression: "After the time of sending troops is tentatively set for 5 days, please prepare your lordship, this time we will take the overland route to the Holy Dynasty." ”

"My department is ready to go. ”

After the meeting ended, Vega and Garru chatted casually before leaving the General Headquarters.

Before leaving, he undoubtedly bumped into Chief of Staff Eskar, and he didn't feel that he had done anything to cheat, but patted Vega's shoulder and said, "Brigadier General Vega, the opportunity is for you, I wish you a victory." ”

"Thank you so much for your attention, Chief of Staff!" the corners of Vega's mouth twitched.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party's official position was bigger than him, and now he wanted to scold Eskar, this would simply pit him to death, could it be that being too good was really a kind of original sin? Vega shamelessly fell into deep thought.

————

5 days are fleeting.

Vega ordered the troops, and the commander of the 4th Division, Garru, and set out from the army station.

This time there was no scene of civilians cheering like the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions, and the news of the defeat at the front had already been transmitted back to China, so this time there were only bursts of boos left for Vega and the 4th Division, and the treatment was very different.

But no one would dare to do that by throwing rotten eggs or something.

Although the statement is not to blame the public, it is still possible to kill a chicken and make an example of the monkey, after all, no one wants to be this chicken.

Due to the overland route to the Holy Dynasty, it was not fast.

After about 10 days, Vega and Garru's forces finally arrived in a city outside the encirclement of the Kingdom of Saint Laurent, which also contained the 15th and 23rd divisions of the dynastic army.

These two divisions were subordinate to the Fourth Army of the Holy Dynasty.

This army group was originally ordered by the king to tear up the encirclement and cover the royal army and the royal family of Saint Laurent to withdraw to the west to make plans, but it was beaten by a flank unit of the royal army responsible for the rear encirclement, and now only two divisions are stationed here waiting for the imperial reinforcements to act together.

"Master Garru, you're here. ”

The commander-in-chief of the 15th and 23rd divisions hurriedly walked over, and he excitedly shook the hand of the 4th division commander Garru and said: "I am relieved to see you, the Royal Legion is saved, Your Majesty is saved...... Hmm ”

The old man wept with joy, without the majesty of a commander.

It's no wonder that even a saint can't suppress his emotions under great joy and sorrow, but is there really no problem with treating the empire as a savior? To be honest, Vega doesn't have much faith in Garru.

"Commander-in-Chief, don't be impatient. ”

The commander of the 4th Division, Garru, hurriedly reassured: "Without further ado, please also share the current information, we need to make a plan according to the battle situation, and strive to tear the encirclement in the shortest possible time, so that the royal legion of your country, His Majesty the King, and our army can retreat safely." ”

"Quick, get all the information out. ”

In a hurry, the staff of the commander of the 4th division flipped through the materials in the conference room and began to work out the entire battle plan.

"There are two biggest problems right now. ”

The commander-in-chief of the Dynasty Army pointed to the sand table and said: "In front of Saint Laurent City, there are two groups of armies of the Kingdom Army frantically attacking, on the left is the Lun'au Mountains that cannot be marched, and on the right is the Donbu River, but the navy was completely wiped out by a sneak attack half a year ago. The only rear that can retreat now is the flank of the Kingdom Army stationed in the captured cities of Ed, Tully, and Saya. ”

"In other words, we are going to capture the three cities?"

Garru, the commander of the 4th Division, frowned, and the three cities on the sand table that presented an isosceles triangle made him feel a little tricky.

The commander-in-chief of the Dynasty Army nodded: "That's right, we can only secure the retreat route by tearing through the encirclement of the Kingdom Army and recovering the three cities, otherwise once the city of Saint Laurent is broken, neither our army nor your army will have nowhere to escape." ”

Vega glanced at the three cities that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then asked, "Your Excellency, commander, how are the troops deployed?" ”

The commander-in-chief of the Dynasty Army glanced at Vega curiously.

Commander Garru noticed the commander-in-chief's gaze, so he introduced: "This is Brigadier Vega Kareni, who defeated the Kingdom Army in the north of the empire and recovered Kareni City. ”

"The empire is really full of talent. ”

The commander-in-chief looked at Vega's age and sighed, and then replied: "Of these three cities, each city has an airborne division garrisoned. The enemy's air strike capability is very strong, and the entire aviation unit of our 4th Army was destroyed by concentrated fire as soon as it came up, and this is the main reason why we have not been able to advance an inch so far, but have lost a large number of troops. ”

3 cities, 3 divisions, strong air support.

Vega keenly grasped these key points, and it didn't take to know that this was another tried-and-true blitzkrieg in the kingdom.

What should I do now?

Vega stared at the sand table for two minutes.

He then pointed to the three cities distributed in an isosceles triangle, the closest to Saint Laurent City, which is also the farthest apex from them, and said: "If you don't consider the counterattack on the Kingdom Army, I don't think there is a need to capture the three cities, just take the Saya City is enough to retreat, and when the time comes, it will be easy to welcome back the Royal Legion and our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions, and then take back the other two cities." ”

The people in the room fell into deep thought.

A few minutes later, Garru, the commander of the 4th Division, said: "I think it is feasible, so I will set Saya City as a strategic target, and ask all staff officers to formulate relevant plans according to this goal." ”

"Two. ”

The commander-in-chief of the Dynasty Army spoke at this time: "I have also carried out this plan, but if you want to take Saya City, you need troops to drag the Kingdom reinforcements from the other two cities. Almost all of the aviation units of the Royal Army were concentrated in these two cities, and with our strength, we could not delay the frontal forces to take Saya City. ”

Vega smiled, unimpressed.

He placed all the troops of the Dynasty Army on the sand table in Elder City on the right, then moved the pieces of his troops to the city of Tully on the right, and finally placed the 4th Division in Saya City, which needed to be attacked head-on.

Vega's slightly mocking tone echoed in the conference room: "I don't want your army to defeat the kingdom army, but please don't tell me that two divisions of your army can't hold back one division of the enemy army." ”

Then he turned his gaze to Garru, the commander of the 4th Division.

He said in a slightly admiring tone: "With the command ability of the commander of the 4th division, it must be easy to use one division to take a city of Saya without an aviation unit stationed, right?"

"Of course. ”

Where did the two of them get this kind of agitation from Vega, and they immediately said that there was no problem.

Especially the commander-in-chief of the Dynasty Army, he even felt that the strength of his troops had been insulted, and he wanted to follow Vega's plan now to prove that he was not so incompetent.

Seeing this, Vega showed a faint smile.

Neither of them realized that Vega had placed his troops in the safest position.
